Put on hold. This is my 4th post interview hold/waitlist. No acceptances yet. Pretty bummed

I'm sitting on three mysefl. Hopefully the April 30th purge will do us both some good!

Congrats to everyone who was accepted today!! I interviewed mid-December and called last week to ask about my status because it's been 16 weeks since I interviewed and I haven't heard a peep since. The woman I spoke with said that my file was recently reviewed and that I should hear something within the next week or two. Not sure if there are any fellow December comrades out there (or even pre-December interviewees) but if you're still waiting too, I would assume we should know something soon. STAY STRONG PPL

I was put on post-interview hold about a month ago and interviewed mid December! Best of luck to you, stay strong indeed!

 

[clarice starling]

Did you not hear at all? I interviewed mid December was put on the hold list which essentially is a non-answer haha.

Got the hold email this morning. Not sure what to make of it...not the waitlist, but not a decision? My gut says this is a pending June rejection, barring any unforeseen circumstances where 100 people decline an offer.............

 

[T1mberwolf]

Got hold email this morning.

 

[nontrad981]

Hold today. They're my first choice too. Anyone know what hold movement has been like in the past?

when did you interview?

 

[nontrad981]

when did you interview?

Early Feb. I wonder if they are full or over cap already, because it seems like there were a bunch of holds today.

 

[WhatsUpDoc']

Also received the hold email this morning.

Does anyone know when we will get our financial aid information for accepted students?

I actually called today and the person said they will start working on that next Wednesday. I do know at Second Look that they said within 10 days of Second Look. So I can only assume very soon (possibly next Wednesday).

I cannot find the date for the white coat ceremony anywhere in my acceptance packet..looking through the last few posts, it looks like it'll be 7/11? Hope they send out more info soon

I asked at second look day and they said that it is usually the last Friday in July so maybe 7/28???

There was a schedule posted on the FB group. The white coat ceremony is 7/28. The M1 who posted it said that it should be at like 4pm and usually ends around 6/7pm?

 

[bobbyn]

^^4pm, 7/28

At second look (April 1), they said within 10 days. I still haven't received any info yet, but I wouldn't expect a lot of fin aid...

Thank youuu v much

 

[HopefulMD35]

Any idea when the acceptance packet arrives after the initial acceptance email.
Just curious lol

 

[tarheelpenner]

Wow. Subject line of "Interview Denied"? A little harsh, Penn State.

 

[Azaelea]

Wow. Subject line of "Interview Denied"? A little harsh, Penn State.

I got the same email 4 times.

 

[tarheelpenner]

I got the same email 4 times.

Me too. Way to rub it in Penn State. Will there be a 5th rejection? How many times can they reject me?

 

[Azaelea]

Well... I just got the fifth one! Hahaha

 

[pandasaregreat]

+3

 

[tarheelpenner]

Well... I just got the fifth one! Hahaha

Now it's a game.

 

[rhonamahariel]

currently counting SIX rejection emails from penn state. thanks guys...I think I get it

 

[poloboy]

Just got rejected by PSU 9 times! Am I that horrible?

[joonage]

Damn... they really don't want me, do they?

 

[rhonamahariel]

The same thing happened to me with another school yesterday, everyone was getting a ton of rejection emails. maybe schools just really like to rub it in?

 

[tarheelpenner]

This is hilarious.

 

[Azaelea]

[deleted679859]

I just got my 8th "Interview Denied" email in 10 minutes. This is pretty ridiculous lol

 

[You're My Boy Blue]

I'm on 8 and counting lol. I've fortunate enough to have other acceptances but if this was my top-choice this spamming would be quite a slap in the face. Their admissions office need to get their IT under control

 

[theriddlerxd]

Also rejected 8x....unless I get 10, I assume they want me.

 

[Alma1989]

Best rejection ever! x8 for me. I'm sure their Communication department just exploded.

 

[G-Husky]

Sidney Kimmel did the same to me yesterday!

 

[RogueBanana]

Yesterday I was rejected at Thomas Jefferson 5 times


Today I was rejected at Penn State 9 times.


I'm moving up in the world!

 

[CASunDevil]

Got the hint, PSU, I'm not getting an interview ...

 

[RedSweater]

Also rejected 8x....unless I get 10, I assume they want me.

I've only gotten 3 so far, so.....I should go ahead and schedule my flight for the interview then?

 

[WillianIAm]

Only 6 for me. Must mean they were on the fence about me That makes me feel good.

What is wrong with Pennsylvania schools?

[MiamiBoyy]

[N.E.R.D.7007]

The email popped up as PSU Interview... on my phone so I got excited!!! Then my heart broke when I opened it and saw the denied

 

[au_gems_glitter]

Although my full financial aid package is not out yet, if you click "Accept/Decline Awards" under Financial Aid in the LionPATH portal, you can see any grants/institutional loans offered to you. Note that this didn't show any federal loans offered to me yet and know that the "View Financial Aid" tab is still empty. Hang tight for the full package!
